Blog by Ernst de Haan (from .nl). What is there to know about me? Above all, that I am a christian. On this blog I write mostly about web development, UNIX, Apple, Java, XML and web design.

Favourite Mac apps (updated x5)

Here's the list of my favourite Mac OS X applications:

Parallels Desktop — For running Windows and Linux in virtual machines. With Windows XP inside it, for testing web pages in Internet Explorer (6, 7 and 8 all have their own dedicated VM). (€80)

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional — Version 9 probably runs better on my Intel Mac with Snow Leopard. I didn't need all the extra stuff in the Professional edition, but there was no Standard edition for Mac. (version 9 is $450)
